Instructions
Step 1
Begin by chopping the *dark chocolate* into small pieces. In a bowl, melt the chocolate together with the *unsalted butter*. You can use a double boiler or microwave it in short intervals, stirring constantly to ensure a smooth mixture.
Step 2
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the *large eggs* with the *sugar*, *vanillin*, and a *pinch of salt* until the mixture is light and frothy. This step is important for incorporating air into the batter, which gives the brownies their texture.
Step 3
Pour the melted butter and chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, and stir until well combined. Carefully sift the *all-purpose flour* and *baking powder* into the bowl, folding the ingredients gently until a smooth and homogeneous batter forms.
Step 4
Chop the *milk chocolate* into small chunks and fold them into the batter, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture for that delicious melty effect.
Step 5
Preheat your oven to *180°C (350°F)*. Pour the brownie batter into a square baking pan (18cm x 18cm) lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for *15-20 minutes*. The shorter baking time will give you a fudgier brownie, so keep an eye on them to prevent overbaking.
Step 6
Once baked, allow the brownies to cool slightly in the pan. For the best experience, serve them warm, possibly with a *scoop of ice cream* on top for added indulgence. Enjoy your delicious creation!
